Deep-living and diverse Antarctic seaweeds as potentially important contributors to global carbon fixation
Abstract Global models predict that Antarctica has little suitable habitat for macroalgae and that Antarctic macroalgae therefore make a negligible contribution to global carbon fixation. However, coastal surveys are rare at southern polar latitudes (beyond 71° S), and here we report diverse and abu...
